Maintenance Service and Replacement Parts
Important information concerning maintenance service
and replacement parts is in the Limited Warranty on
Nissan Replacement Parts and Accessories section of
this booklet. No warranty claim will be denied solely
because a non-Nissan part was used for maintenance or
repair.
California Vehicle Inspection Program
Under this program, if your vehicle fails a “smog check”
test, you may choose to have diagnosis of the failure and
repairs made at a Nissan dealer or at another service
facility. If the inspection failure is the result of a condition
covered by these warranties, you must take your vehicle
to an authorized Nissan dealer for warranty repairs. This
includes parts, labor and diagnosis. You must pay for
diagnostic costs if performed at another service facility
except in the case of emergency repairs as outlined be-
low.
You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs of an
inspection failure as required by law if the failure was
caused by conditions not covered by these warranties. If
the failure is the result of a combination of conditions, you
must pay for only the diagnostic and repair costs related
to items not covered by these warranties.
After the 3 year/50,000 mile performance warranty has
passed, a “smog check” test failure due to a defect in a part
which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles is covered.

Emergency Repairs
In case of an emergency, when an authorized Nissan
dealer is not reasonably available, warranty repairs may
be performed at any service facility or by the owner using
any replacement parts. Nissan will reimburse you for
such repairs, including diagnosis, up to the amount of
Nissan’s suggested retail price for parts and labor charges
based on Nissan’s recommended time allowance for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly

1. Normal maintenance, service and parts replacementas outlined in the emission control maintenance in-
structions of your OWNER’S MANUAL
and your
NISSAN SERVICE & MAINTENANCE GUIDE.

Lack of performance of required emission control
maintenance as outlined in your OWNER’s
MANUAL and your
NISSAN SERVICE & MAIN-
TENANCE GUIDE.Misuse, accident or modification.Improper adjustment or installation of parts during
the performance of maintenance (non-warranty)

with Federal requirements which is defective
or not equivalent from an emissions stand
point to the original equipment part.

WHAT YOU MUST DOIn order to obtain warranty service you must deliver the
vehicle to any authorized Nissan dealer in the United
States at your expense. You are responsible for the re-
quired maintenance on your vehicle as outlined in the
maintenance instructions in your
NISSAN SERVICE & MAIN-
TENANCE GUIDE. Nissan recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle, but Nissan
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.

labor, including diagnosis and tax. Any needed parts re-
placement will be made using new or remanufactured parts.
OTHER WARRANTY TERMSPerformance Warranty Claims Procedure
You may make a claim under the Performance Warranty
immediately after the failure of a “smog check” test. You
must provide proof of this failure when making your claim
in order to avoid additional “smog check” test charges.
You will be told whether Nissan will honor your claim
within 30 days of the date you make the claim, unless a
shorter time period is required by law. If your claim is
denied, Nissan will notify you in writing of the reason. If
we do not notify you within this time period, we will repair
your vehicle under this warranty at no cost to you. The
time period for notification will not apply if you request a
delay or a delay is caused by events not under the control
of Nissan dealers. No claim will be denied under the
Performance Warranty because you use a certified part
for maintenance or repair.
